Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: To determine the surgical outcomes of the plication technique in comparison with the resection method on exotropic patients.

Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, a total of 52 exotropic patients (female, 51.9%) who are candidate for medial rectus strengthening will be randomly classified into plication (n=24) and resection (n=28) groups. The comprehensive visual and ocular examinations will be performed on all study subjects and they will be followed- up for three months postoperatively. Plication technique is the same as resection up to muscle suturing, in the next step, the sutures are passed through 2 scleral bites at 1 mm anterior to the muscle insertion, then the muscle was folded toward inside or outside by pulling and joining the sutures.
